Happiness is not an end — it is only a means, and adjunct, a consequence.


This one is MEGA old, taken at least a month and a half back. I like the black power salute, and I think that we all know the answer to the question posed by the little froggie on the book.

Thank you for the perfect views of two perfect children.
Pride is a terribly difficult thing to live with.
I'm quite sure that I will survive though.

Priyanka, it is a waterproof book.

Roddy, they’re MY kids. I’M the one who should be proud!

Candie, I’ve never fired a real gun. Unless you count an air rifle. Therefore I can’t comment on whether happiness is illusionary or not.

Jim, poor old Ez. His labels are buggered!
Kris McCracken said…
Mary, we like him.

Lolade, there should be no problem with being proud of who you are!

Of course we all know the answer to that. the answer lies in the picture itself, isn't it?

Kris, you should be very proud of both of your children. Why did I just say that? Of course I know that both you and Jennifer are the proudest parents. I can see it every time we are there.
My statement comes from my belief that Jen and yourself are raising two very well adjusted kids.
My pride comes from knowing that I don't have to worry about any of you.
My love and pride comes from knowing that I have nothing to worry about.
Kris McCracken said…
Neva, that is true.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, got it in one.

Roddy, money on the fridge.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral

Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced. A passion that goeth before a sprawl.

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo. I wasn’t happy with the way that the sun had washed out some of the colours in the original, so had a bit of a fiddle because I like the look on Henry’s face, and didn’t want to pass on posting it. I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
